To all whom it mag/.'concem:

Be it known that we, GEORGE W. PALMER" Massachusetts, have" invented new and useful Improvements inCloset-Bowls; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.I

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in closet bowls and has primarily vfor its objectv the means for ushin'g the same. f

It is a further object of this invention to provide a device of this character wherein two currents or streams of water are employed,` one independent of the Vother and one connecting lwith the rWater pressure, `and the other with a tank.

Furthermore, an object of this invention is to provide la device I`of this character,

which will possess advantages in points of simplicity, efliciencyand durability, proving at the same time comparatively inexpensive' to manufacture.. A,

-With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more In describing the invention in detail, reference will` be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this s-peclcation. wherein like characters denote lcorrespond- -ing parts in the several views, in which- Figure 1, .is a sectional view of a bowlwijth the invention applied, certain Aortions thereof being indicated by dotted ines.

In the drawings, 1 denotes a bowl wl 'ch may be -of any well knowno'r referred construction, but .being` provi ed\ with the siphon tra 2, of the usu'al` constructlon;

:It is with ,t e up-take', of' this siphon that ordinary tank, not shown.` This flush pipe delivers' Within'the bowl -in the usual Wayy and also discharges down a passageway 5, arranged to o ne side ofthe up-take 3, of the ,Siphon and terminates in a chamber 6, in the bottom of the bowl. This chamber 6, is

provision of novel of that water will be Fig- 2,. is a sectional view on the lin 2%-2 of Fi .l 1.

provided with an o' enin 1.7-, positioned at a point beneath the up-ta e 3, and is so arranged as to directthe water fed through the ,passageway 5, upwardly through the u take 3. To the opposite'side of the up-ta e 3, is arranged a second passageway'S,l which communicates with a nipple or no'zzleformed with .a Wall of the chamberV 6, and discharging beneath the .opening 7, the d-isch'ar e.

any-convenient point to the main water line or water pressure pipe; `It is to be observed that the wall of this second passageway at a ratentedmarch 1o, 190s. v

point surrounding the i e 10,'is provided with a recess 11, inv w`h1c suitable. packing -may be placed to make the connection between the passageway and pipe'water-tight. j The operation of the devlce is thoughtto befobvious.' When the water iscaused to flow down the flush pige 4, a certain amount ischarged directly up the .up-take 3, through the opening 7, whic Willlcause'the siphon to operate promptly.

This is further enhanced bythe water supply from. the connection 10, which -is under water pressure. This latter `supply not only causes the Siphon to operate promptly, but greatly facilitates the remova of-any sediment lthat may congregate within the bowl.v I

In-conclusion, it may be stated that the walls of the dii-ferent passageways and the P chamber and the nip e together with the bowl are all formed referably integral or from' one casting, a though 'the different parts may be assembledor formed in any manner which will meet the necessary requirernents.v l

What we claim is:r l

.1. In combination with a bowl having a' Siphon tra'p, means :for dischargin water in,

said trap at the base of the upta e from aplurality of' independent sources', one of said ,sources bein under main pressure.

2. In Vcom ination with al bowl havinga Siphon trap, means for dischargin water 1n said trap at the base of the upta e from a plurality of independent sources.-

3. As a new article of manufacture, a bowl having a Siphon trap, said bowl being pro-v vided with a chamber' discharging Within the 11p-take of the Siphon ai:l the base thereof, a passageway positioned on one side of the upzake of the Siphon communicating with the f bowl, a nipple Within the chamber discharging through the opening of the chamber, said bowl having a passageway on the opposite side of the 11p-take eonunuuioating with the nipple.
